The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Ralph Stanley, "O Death" from O Brother, Where Art Thou?: Soundtrack from the Motion Picture (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I vacillate 'twixt finding Southern folklore about outwitting/physically injuring the Devil and/or Death charming & finding it supremely irritating. In the case of "O Death" the plaintive voice of Ralph Stanley carries the day for charming.
